On the recordMarch 22, 1994
I wish to again commend Senator Bumpers' for his years of hard work on this important legislation. As the subcommittee chairman, he has drafted this legislation, conducted the hearings, and negotiated the compromise that we are passing today. In addition, I would like to again compliment the Senator from Utah [Mr. Bennett] who has worked very closely with Senator Bumpers and the rest of us on the Energy Committee in bringing this bill together. He brought a fresh, objective and business-oriented view of the concessions issue to the table and without his assistance, our road would have been much rougher. Madam President, I would also like to acknowledge the contribution of a number of staff members who have been involved in this legislation-- particularly, David Brooks, Tom Williams, Diane Balamoti, and Jason Dilg of the Energy Committee staff; Rich Glick and Tracy Crowley of Senator Bumpers staff; and Chip Yost and Jim Barker of Senator Bennett's staff. I thank each of them for their help and hard work.

Is it not a fact that the Levin-Wellstone amendment allows the same thing, only while ours would be limited to $75, yours is unlimited, provided it is motivated by personal friendship, to be decided by the Member?
